Revolution!


The US Constitution was designed with revolution in mind.

Every two years, we have the opportunity to replace the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate (the folks who confirm tyrannical federal judicial nominees). That's a revolution.

Every 4 years, we have the opportunity to replace the entire administration (the folks who nominate tyrannical federal judges), the entire House, and another third of the Senate. That's a revolution.

Every six years, the entire Senate and the House can be replaced. That's a revolution.

But, with a 90-95% reelection rate in Congress despite a Congressional approval rating of 16%, ya gotta wonder whether American voters are fond of revolution -- no matter how badly they need it.

We need smarter voters.
